Instead, head out to the Ch\u00e2teau Champs-sur-Marne, less than an hour from the Bastille. The ch\u00e2teau and grounds have been\u00a0popular movie locations. The journey from Gare de Lyon makes for a relaxing day trip to the countryside. If you are not shooting a film, the day trip is worth it anyway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you will see<\/strong><br \/>\nThe ch\u00e2teau is\u00a0filled with furniture and extensive decorative interiors, including bathrooms, a smoking room, salons, bedchambers, service corridor, children&#8217;s dining room (formerly a bathroom), the smoking room and a billiard room (in case you are looking for decorating ideas).<\/p>\n<p>You can walk among\u00a0beautiful gardens and the orangery or spend a couple of hours roaming the park. Near the orangery is the\u00a0tree &#8220;If de Boussuet&#8221; measuring 76 meters (250 feet) in circumference that survived the 1999 storms. I thought it was a gigantic bush and only found out about this trivia later!<iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/214310342\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Day Trip to Champs-sur-Marne from Paris from Colleen Shaughnessy-Larsson on Vimeo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Temporary exhibitions<\/strong><br \/>\nUsing clothing exhibits since 2016, the ch\u00e2teau comes to life from another angle other than interiors. A free, full-color brochure of photos, history and description of the garments is included with the admission charge. The 1890-1930 exhibit I saw included a black lace robe by Gabrielle Chanel from 1913 and a 1935 blue evening dress by Jeanne Lanvin. The men and children fashions are well represented with their outfits, hats and shoes on display.<\/p>\n<p>In French and English free-standing touch screen video monitors display snippets of movie scenes shot here, usage\u00a0of the rooms, history and information about some of the furnishings (Nissim de Camondo&#8217;s baby chair. You will recognise this name from the Paris house museum. His uncle, Charles Cahen d&#8217;Anvers, was the last owner and sold it to the French government in 1935).<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the ch\u00e2teau<\/strong><br \/>\nThe construction of Ch\u00e2teau Champs or Champs-sur-Marne began in 1699 and was completed in 1707. Extensive renovations and restoration took place around 1895 with Louis Cahen d&#8217;Anvers. It took six years of recent and extensive renovation the ch\u00e2teau to restore Ch\u00e2teau Champs-sur-Marne to the condition it enjoyed under Cahen d&#8217;Anvers. and once again<\/p>\n<p>Famous residents have included the Marquise de Pompadour (Louis XV&#8217;s favorite) and French Presidents from 1939 to 1974. Around 1748, Christophe Huet painted\u00a0the &#8220;Chinoiseries&#8221; decor; very much in vogue in the 18th century. Famous balls during the\u00a0<em>Belle \u00c9poque<\/em> included one organised by Paul Poiret, the designer, introducing the Oriental and exotic styles.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15282\"
